[UPDATE - March 10, 2026] KONAMI has just announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater surpassed two million units sold, though it took 173 days to progress from the previous sales milestone.
[ORIGINAL STORY] This morning, Japanese developer and publisher KONAMI announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater became a million seller on the day of its release (Thursday, August 28), according to KONAMI's own search when combining retail and digital sales.
It's a solid start for the remake of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which was originally released as a PlayStation 2 exclusive and subsequently made it to the Nintendo 3DS in 2012.
The port to Unreal Engine 5 was co-developed by Virtuos, the same studio that recently handled the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Unfortunately, despite these two big (and rather successful) assignments, Virtuos recently suffered significant layoffs of nearly three hundred employees.
Anyway, here's what Wccftech's Kai Tatsumoto thought about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater in his 9.4/10 PS5 review:
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the de facto perfect way to experience the rise and fall of Big Boss. Each detail has been meticulously refined and brought to modern standards while leaving nothing behind in the past. While this also means retaining both the campiness and jank, there’s no better way to experience the first Metal Gear Solid title in the timeline. Konami has promised (and delivered) a faithful reproduction of Snake Eater, brought forth into a new console generation without deviating from the title it was based on.
PC users have already come up with mods and tweaks to improve the game's experience on their favorite platform. The 'Better Uncap FPS' mod is, of course, a must, since by default the game is limited to 60 frames per second. It was also discovered that adding a few settings to the game's Engine.ini file can enable features like hardware Lumen ray tracing, Ray Reconstruction, and NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation.
